The commissioner expects that the permanent rule corresponding to this emergency rule, clearinghouse No. 03-039, will be filed with the secretary of state in time to take effect October 1, 2003. Because the fund fee provisions of this rule first apply on July 1, 2003, it is necessary to promulgate the rule on an emergency basis. A hearing on the permanent rule, pursuant to published notice thereof, was held on May 14, 2003.

Rules adopted revising
chs. NR 10 and 45, relating to the control and management of chronic wasting disease.
Finding of emergency
The emergency rule procedure, pursuant to s.
227.24, Stats., is necessary and justified in establishing rules to protect the public health, safety and welfare. The state legislature has delegated to the department rule-making authority in
2001 Wisconsin Act 108 to control the spread of Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD) in Wisconsin. CWD poses a risk to the health of the state's deer herd and citizens and is a threat to the economic infrastructure of the department, the state, it citizens and businesses.

Rules adopted revising
chs. NR 16 and 19 and creating
ch. NR 14, relating to captive wildlife.
Finding of emergency
2001 Wis. Act 56 was not enacted until April of 2002. It required standards for captive animals held under licenses issued under ch.
169, Stats., to be in place by January 1, 2003, the effective date of the change from licensing under ch.
29, Stats., to ch.
169, Stats. As the use of the permanent rule process would not allow these standards to be in place by January 1, 2003, the Department had no choice but to use the emergency rule procedures. Failure to have standards in place would result in the lack of humane care standards for wild animals held in captivity and the lack of pen standards necessary to prevent the interactions between captive and wild animals.
